The tasks of security guards vary, and one of their typical work involves crowd control. Security guards are the ones who site managers and event planners often rely on to maintain a sense of decency and order at crowded events. 

In order to establish crowd control at an event, security guards are positioned at a check-in point. This checkpoint is a place where they observe and interact with people as they enter and exit the event. 

They may check people’s ID cards to confirm their identity. In addition, they can check the attendees for potential dangers or dangerous items. Attendees also feel safe when an authorized person is present at the entrance/exit of the event. At events, security guards should be highly visible to make their presence known. This is for the good of the crowd. 

In the meantime, security guards are also trained and capable of dealing with troublemakers. If anyone is acting badly, a security guard can calm things down by talking to them. They always try to de-escalate conflicts. If things come to this, they may even physically remove the person from the premises to keep the peace. When and if a fight breaks out that is above the guard’s pay grade, they can ask the police to intervene. 

Another important thing security guards can help with is that they help handle the flow of traffic at events. They can also ensure the comfort and safety of the people by encouraging them to spread out when they are too close together. They can guide people to the direction of various things, such as bathrooms. And to ensure order, ropes and other barriers can also be used to organize crowds.
